Apparently,
HTC is having a little trouble keeping people with cameras out of its offices, as evidenced by this totally great spy shot of a what appears to be a bunch of (or two) new phones. We're familiar with quite of few of these devices, like the
TyTn II, Touch Cruise, and
Touch you see in the upper row, but things get a little stickier down below. Save for that
P3470 that's second from left, we have no clue what those slick looking square numbers are. The far left model and the far right might be the same device, but its hard to tell. It also looks like all the devices in this picture are using Windows Mobile, but we're holding out hope that maybe the model on the far right boots Android... and
soon.

Update: So we figure that one of the two on the right is likely the
MDA compact IV for T-Mobile, although that still doesn't explain the generous QWERTY board depicted over there on the left. Can't you just feel the excitement building? Thanks, Marios!

Those 3 unknown devices on the bottom row look a lot alike. Could it be... the HTC Dream?
Now how did my name get ****'d up?
Hmmm, the phone that is on the bottom row (second from the right) seems to be running Manila, the new touch interface and I guess the same goes for the left one on the bottom row.
Yep, the phone on the bottom left is indeed running HTC Manila (new touch interface for WinMo) and so is the phone on on the second from left, check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2073639 and then the right picture on the first row, it looks A LOT alike.

ARGH....
A dream will be when a company finally takes the initiative to put one of those freaking Nvidia APX 2500s into a product.
Seriously, I was so in love with the photos and demos of that thing from Barcelona, and after that there has been no news on the thing... not one drop.
:-(
They are coming in 2009 with the launch of Windows Mobile 7.
Downlod the FAQ over at nVidia's site:

@ ByronGman
I know exactly what you mean. The APX2500 is unbelievably powerful. However, they did say the 1st phone to sport this chip won't arrive before 18 months.
What I really want to see in the HTC Dream is TAT's Cascades UI. Unbelievable APX-like UI. Too bad stupid motorola licensed it for its Android phone which we will likely see in the next millenium.
Well, the one of the mobile-review forum moderators says that the one on the lower left is the HTC Raphael (TyTN II sucessor), while the two on the right are an HTC Raphael variant (WinMo Pro) but with the Touch-Dual slide up SureType keyboard, and an HTC Diamond (WinMo Standard).

Those look sweet, can't wait, let's hope their Androids!
they are?
I highly doubt they will be Android. Most likely Windows Mobile 6.1
the phones look like they are all QVGA which is extremely inconvenient for full html browsing.
How lame.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there ARE enough phone models in the world... :)
WRONG!
There can never be enough models, how did you end up on engadget?!
the first row is all present models and the second row is their successors I guess
p.s. dont call me captain obvious :D
ooo, good call...
The exception is having the Pharos under the Touch Cruise, the Pharos is a much cheaper, lower spec'd model.
you mean that and the fact that there are two TyTn II's in the first row...
anyways I hope that the TyTn II still has the tilt feature, it's become sooo much more useful than i thought it ever would be.
...and they all look crap!
Awesome,
I know a lot of people don't like HTC but they're definitely my manufacturer/device of choice. Really looking forward to seeing what their new devices have to offer.
Is it me or is the one on the right NOT using the standard HTC 2.8" cramped 320x240 screen??
They look slick, but squared off corners aren't very friendly to pockets.
Android running on the bottom left one???
thats a good call. That's also probably why it's the only one on the bottom that'd off. It is very similar to the dream fan made concepts. I'd put my bet on that one as an android phone
looks like WM actually
Oops. I thought you meant the one on the right. The one on far right is my bet for android
ooooo
**sit eagerly waiting for May 6th**
Top row left to right - HTC Tilt - TyTN II - Touch Cruise™ - HTC Touch
Bottom rowleft to right – ???? - P3470 - ???? - ????
HTC Raphael - P3470 - HTC Diamond - HTC Diamond
nah, the 2 on the lower left are different. Reading that thread, I'm guessing one is a touch-style, a screen only, and the other is an up/down slider.
Some of those pretty smexy...
I know what the lower right is... :p
There was a very very similar phone in msmobiles.com report from CeBIT.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7172.html
"Finally let's take a look at T-Mobile MDA compact IV, that is the first Windows Mobile phone made by HTC, that offers VGA display in pocket-size case (combined with HSDPA, GPS and 4GB of Internal memory):"
http://x.msmobiles.com/portal/images/events/cebit2008/cebit2008-11-mda-compact-iv.jpg
I'd say that's second from the right... the one on the right maybe the fabled up/down slider version.
Hope one of them is Android, and coming soon.
The lower left phone doesn't look like it has a WM-style or TouchFlo interface; I'm betting it's something Dream-related.
HTC TouchFlo 2.0 (3D and VGA) aka Manilla .
Windows Mobile 6.1
The one on the second to the right on the bottom is running the new Manilla interface...
on the web site "colorware" it mentions a special edition iphone... wat is that... : / im confused.... u can find it there under the "company" tab, then go to "now in color" .... it says its comming april 28th.... does any1 no wat it is??? (sorry its not related to the post...) : /
Let's hope for some DRIVERS this time HTC...
That bottom left device has a LOT more buttons than those of the Wizard genealogy have been sporting. This is kind of exciting.
I'd like to see Android on the bottom far left one, as well.
Oh, and, bottom far-left and bottom far-right are NOT the same phone (as the article speculates). One has square corners (far right), and one has round corners (far left).
Wow This gets me pretty excited. Its been a slow news month at Engadget.
I agree btw, I believe the phones on the far left and right are the same phone.
Nah, they're not. The screen edgings are different.
Such a grainy photo - it could only have been taken with a HTC phone!
Or anything made by Motorola, ever.
not true, my mpx220 took WAY better pictures than my startrek ever did
Wait... Couldn't the guy use one of the phones in the pic to take a more decent picture??? My HTC TyTn II (same as pictured in the top left) has a 3mp camera... couldn't he just use that...?
He was probably using an iphone
